I'm not so hot about the idea of not being able to opt out of Windoze Updates...

Speed-Racer3209d ago

Why would you want to opt out though?

NarooN3209d ago

It's just the sake of having the option to do so. And you never know if they might release an update that borks something in a substantial fashion and you'd have no way to back out of it.

Block the servers with your firewall.

Damn, this sounds horrible

Skynet will become self-aware in no time! They are already talking about a self-aware program now, then add a OS that you can't opt out of! You do the math.

Windows 10 upgrade notifications will stop trying to trick you

People should upgrade to W10, don't get why they wouldn't want it.

KingPin2862d ago

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.

and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.

on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.

Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.

Grap2861d ago

"Win 10 is horrendous"
by that statement i know you haven't fully used it.
I get people who don't use it for spyware service reasons and i sympathies with them, but in no way of shape or form W10 is less than W8 or even 7, MS really outdo them selves with W10 and if it weren't of their spyware service i would say it's even better than XP.

TXIDarkAvenger2861d ago (Edited 2844d ago )

I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.
